The decision came after Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation as Union Education Minister. His resignation had been the principal demand of the protest, which continued for more than a month.
CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the group had held three rounds of discussions with the government delegation before reaching an understanding.
At the press conference, JP Nadda said copies of the FIRs registered against protesters would be provided to the CJP.
He also assured the group that no action would be taken against those involved in the protests.
According to the CJP, FIRs registered by the Central government and NDA-ruled states will be withdrawn. The organisation also said that no fresh cases would be filed against protesters or organisers in connection with the agitation.
The CJP had demanded compensation of ₹1 crore each for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide following stress linked to the NEET-UG paper leak and re-examination process.
Addressing the press conference, Nadda said compensation would be provided in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations.
“Whatever maximum compensation is possible under the rules will be given to the affected families,” he said.
The CJP also submitted a five-point charter seeking reforms in the examination system.
The government agreed to examine the proposals and hold further discussions with CJP representatives.
The charter is expected to include measures related to examination security, accountability, transparency, prevention of paper leaks and support for affected students.
Following the press conference, the CJP announced that it was withdrawing the agitation with immediate effect.
“Cockroach Janta Party withdraws its nationwide agitation with immediate effect. All demands of the Cockroach Janta Party have been accepted by the government,” the organisation said in a statement.
The CJP said the agreement covered the withdrawal of FIRs, consideration of compensation for affected families and discussion on its examination reform proposals.
Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation had remained the central demand of the agitation.
The protest began over the government’s handling of the NEET-UG paper leak controversy and later expanded to include demands for compensation, withdrawal of cases and wider examination reforms.
The agitation, which began at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, later spread to several cities across the country.
The joint press conference marked the formal end of the month-long agitation.
Although the CJP has withdrawn its protest, its representatives said they would continue engaging with the government to ensure that the assurances given during the talks are implemented.
